Libs of TikTok keeps accusing people of being in an insane cult? And she's Chabad? Come on now
i keep changing my mind on who is right here. our gun culture is so evil but also like its an even deader project than police reform
It's kind of funny that the one issue a leftist candidate can take a right-wing position on and pretty consistently continue to be sure of left-wing support is gun control, which is also the issue where taking a right-wing position will kill you among Evelyn Normielib.

people complain about "milennial burger places" and then describe Wahlburgers

What if he was Aaron Rhubarb and he was a stalk vegetable suitable for use in desserts such as pies and crumbles
listening to Bon Iver for the first time since like 2011. doesn't hit the same anymore sad to say
what do you say really. this collusion between the everyday people and the state, the unification of vigilantism and state violence, is the bread and butter of all patriarchal violence, the oiled machine of fascism. your neighbours are nazis, the voters are nazis, etc.
a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time
This woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo... On the up side...
Just FYI Haley Stevens had approx 70M spent on her behalf in the primary, and roughly 30 to 35M of that is from AIPAC, while 12-15M is from "A Stronger Michigan" and 7-10M is from "Center for Democratic Priorities" and we don't know (yet?, forever?) who their donors are.
I am going to start a media panic about Gen X women, primarily from the UK, not handling the looming specter of death well and thus turning to rank bigotry and psychosis. It will get me canceled but it will be historically progressive
In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"
making cars basically illegal >>>> DC-esque automatic traffic cameras >>> cops >>>> Flock/Avon/etc
Way too many people focusing on the names on the tools and not the sociotechnical, sociopolitical, and technopolitical systems and frameworks underlying their design, deployment, justification, and use.
Cities Are Ditching Flock, Immediately Replacing It With Axon License Plate Readers
Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.

Flock has justifiably received tons of outrage, but Axon (and a bunch of other companies) are also purveyors of mass surveillance. Canceling a Flock contract and replacing it with an Axon one is just changing your flavor of authoritarianism.
Surveillance as a tool needs be understood in the context of the state being a machine that enforces class domination. Bourgeoisie aren’t sweating speeding tickets and their other crimes aren’t getting caught by Flock cameras
any discussions about surveillance and civil liberties should be downstream of what cops actually are (mafia with zero civilian control or accountability) and not what they hypothetically should be
The point of a system is what it does
My hottest Bluesky take is being pro (contingent on it being in public areas) panopticon, particularly with cars. The safety benefits are real. But Flock being used for ICE stuff when the city paying for the equipment hasn’t agreed to that is a legit objection to the firm.
There’s no surveillance infrastructure that isn’t sharing data with ICE, because there’s no version of surveillance infrastructure that wouldn’t have a litany of incentives to do this

Outlook search can't find an email with a direct word search for a URL received yesteday and puts emails from two weeks ago as the top results for the sender of what I need. Unbelievably worthless product
